So they didn't replace Type H/PJ33A dual 100 mm with the newer one Type H/PJ87 or even Type 210. A bit disappointing

Wasn't it upgraded back in 2011?

Fan art on refit 052B.
I see them doing the Type 730 or maybe even the 1130, and perhaps the FL-3000N.Fan art on refit 052B.
But I seriously doubt we are going to see a VLS.
Time will tell...and it would be nice for sure. I just doubt the VLS will happen.

It is still a bit early for DDG 168 and 169 for major mid-life refit since they are just about 10 years in service.
168 and 169 are/will be under-going only minor refit as what had been done on DDG 170 last year, cutting open the side of hull and replace some equipment there. I don't think we will see any major changes other than the main gun.
Major refit of weapons and radar will be around 2020 after these ships have seen 15 years of service.
3 ships - DDG 167, 136 and 137 are due/ is under Mid life refit. These ships have done 15 years service.
